Great Gifts
Great Gifts for Families! Children and adults will have fun sharing meals together for years to come with two of our top picks for family gifting: the Party Pizza Stone by Boska ($75.99) and the Party Raclette Grill Set by Trudeau ($119.95). 
Use the Party Pizza Stone to bake pizzas that will stay warm when placed over tealights on the cast iron stand. The child-friendly Party Raclette Grill Set gives everyone the chance to create their own meal with six trays for melting individual portions of cheese and a generous grilling surface for meats and veggies. We have a variety of raclette and other Alpine-style cheeses available. Not sure what to choose? Our cheese monger is here to help!
Cheese or Chocolate? How about chocolate in the shape of cheese? In the Berry region, the passion for good chocolate has been passed down through 4 generations of the Mercier family. Today, it is Daniel and his son Julien who perpetuate the know-how inherited from their
forefathers in the manufacture of biscuits and chocolates. A traditional manufacturing process combined with a rigorous selection of the best cocoa varieties. The quality of the chocolate is one of the pillars of the chocolate factory, the creativity of its products is another. Chocolates in the shape of cheeses and salamis. In form or in content, the Maison Mercier has made chocolate an art and its imagination is limitless.

Wine of the Week
Chateau Rauzan-Segla ’18
“The 2018 Rauzan-Ségla is composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The wine has 14% alcohol, and it was aged for around 18 months in barriques, 65% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with powerful, energetic scents of crushed black cherries, blackcurrant cordial and mulberries, plus suggestions of violets, star anise, chocolate mint and crushed rocks with a touch of tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with taut, muscular black fruit layers, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with fantastic length and loads of earthy sparks. This is a thoroughbred Margaux, for sure, possessing amazing power in a very sleek, sophisticated package. Give it 5-7 years in bottle to unlock all those earth, floral and mineral nuances and drink it over the next 40 years or more. An incredible achievement that adeptly sidesteps the potentially overwhelming stamps of this extreme vintage. Bravo to Technical Director Nicolas Audebert and the team at Rauzan-Ségla!” 98+ Pts Wine Advocate $155.00/btl
